Chapter 52 Marriage
A jade pendant in the brocade box was glowing white under the moonlight. I picked up the jade pendant to face the dim light outside the window. The familiar style seemed to be missing something. I rubbed it carefully, as if I could feel it by doing so. , Tell her where this sense of familiarity comes from.
Although I have tried my best to remember, there are still only some fragments that flash by, but I can't catch them.
Putting down the jade pendant in his hand, he took out the paper inside. It was somewhat similar to the handwriting on the table, but upon closer inspection, it looked more like his own handwriting, or the handwriting he would have written when he first started practicing handwriting.
With a chuckle, she seemed to know whose house this was, but she didn't expect that these things would be kept by her.
A little touched, but also a little helpless, I don't remember anything, but she is still enduring all this alone, no matter how you think about it, it's not fair.
There are also some small toys in the brocade box, all of which are handmade, and she seems to be able to remember how to make each one, and even feel the joy of the other party when giving it away.
Put the things back into the brocade box one by one, close the lid, lock it, put it back in place, lean on the back of the chair, take a deep breath, and exhale.
Some fragments in my mind appear more and more frequently.
Closing his eyes, the figure of that person gradually became clear, maybe he was young, and he was still a little mellow. He wanted to search for some older memories, but only the ones after he was adopted remained.
Some of the stories did coincide with Yan Yihua's story. In fact, she no longer remembered where the scar on her arm came from, but just now she had a vague image of a thin body holding a pile of papers that were already on fire, burning. Burning clothing also burns skin.
It was the same person who gently applied medicine to the wound, and could not feel the pain of the wound, but felt suffocated because of the red eye sockets of that person.
Sighing, he stood up from his seat, walked to the door smoothly based on his memory, put his hand on the latch, but did not move for a long time, until the door was opened from the outside.
The people outside probably didn't expect to see a person as soon as they opened the door, and they were pulled back after two steps, and they might fall down the steps if they stepped back.
This can't be blamed on Yan Yanhua, after all, Wen Zhuxi's hair is disheveled, and her face is still a little pale. Standing silently at the door, it's hard not to be frightened.
After regaining consciousness, he recognized the person in front of him, looked back at the person sitting in the yard, pulled Wen Zhuxi back into the room, and closed the door by the way.
Perhaps it was the dark environment that calmed Wen Zhuxi's chaotic nerves, and the rare clarity allowed her to overlap the person in front of her with the person in her memory.
Without hesitation, he embraced the man in his arms.
Yan Yihua was obviously confused by her sudden action, and it took her a long time to react. She pulled the two of them a little away, and asked softly, "What's the matter? But where else do you feel unwell?"
No answer, just shook his head.
In fact, she should have discovered it a long time ago, the same tone, the same breath, the same care...
To be honest, she didn't pay much attention to it when she knew about it. Even if Yan Minhua told her, it was like listening to someone else's story, and it didn't feel real, but now, she can really feel her own The sourness deep in my heart, vague memories flashed in my mind.
I never knew the relationship between the person I was looking for and myself, and I never knew why I didn't hate Yan Yihua's touch when I saw her for the first time. Now that I have the answer, I feel a lot more relaxed.
"What's wrong?" She was worried for a moment whether Wen Zhuxi had broken her brain.
The hand holding Yan Yihua was tight again, and the voice was muffled, "It's okay..." After pondering for a moment, he said again, "Does the princess have a portrait when she was young? I want to see it."
Although he was a bit puzzled, he still complied. He walked to the desk and saw that the paper he was pressing was picked up by someone at some point. Looking at the people around him, she turned her head to the side and didn't know what she was thinking.
Without paying too much attention, he lit a lamp, walked to a box against the wall, opened it and rummaged for a while, before finding a picture scroll from the bottom, with a little uncertainty in his tone, "Maybe it's this one." Untied the tied ribbon, and explained thoughtfully, "These are some things sent from the palace, and there are also portraits sent by the palace painter on the birthday every year."
Unfold it and hand it to Wen Zhuxi. The villain on it is indeed very immature, looks like he just can walk, timid, only his eyes are full of aura.
His eyes moved to the other scrolls under the box, "Can I see them all?"
Yan Yihua didn't mind, and readily agreed, she hadn't seen these for a long time, and now it's time to reminisce with her.
As the age grows, the facial features gradually unfold, and gradually overlap with the appearance in memory, it's just...
Holding two portraits in my hand, looking back and forth, I always feel that something is missing.
The people around him chuckled, "You have sharp eyes." Taking the scroll from her hand, "One year is missing, and I told you that year, you are not favored, so there is no birthday." These things."
As he spoke, he rummaged through the box again, and took out another scroll, which was hidden very deeply, and even wrapped in silk.
Slowly opened it, explaining, "This is after I regained my favor, but... I don't like it, so I haven't looked at it since I put it away." Passing the scroll to Wen Zhuxi, he turned around and put it away.
As if there was a kind of attraction, the fingertips kept lifting the corner of the satin, and with a little force, the picture scroll inside was exposed.
Unfolding, it is the person who flashed by in the memory just now, but he does not have the cheerfulness in the memory. Just from the picture, he can see the gloom of the other party. Although the corners of the mouth are upturned, there is no smile , if she was asked to comment, this portrait is indeed somewhat depressing.
She really remembered that the first meeting when she was a student with him saved her dark childhood, she was willing to do anything for this person, it was then, and it is still now.
The so-called family beat her because of the downfall of the Li family. Someone snatched the jade pendant from her waist, but they didn't know what she was hiding in her arms. Buried alive.
I can't remember how I got through it at that time, I only know that the person in my heart has been supporting her, and I promised to meet again, and I want to see her again no matter what.
Perhaps it was because of this that she came to this deep palace. No matter what, she finally found it.
Fragmentary memories are pieced together with the help of small objects. It is obviously my own story, but I can only listen to it from the perspective of a bystander. Such days can finally come to an end today.
There are a lot of things I want to say, but none of them should be said now. She clearly said that she would always remember the other party, but in the end she broke her promise, leaving her alone to search for her, the person who broke her promise, with her memories.
It was me who was sorry for her, and let her waste these six years, just to find her own shadow.
When I heard Yan Yanhua talk about it before, I thought this person was really lucky, but she just didn't know how to cherish it; now that I think about it, she seems to owe Yan Yanhua more, and she wants to make up for it, no matter what she is asked to do. .
Putting down the scroll in his hand, "With me here in the future, I won't let you show such an expression again."
The sincere words brought her back to six years ago in a trance. This man always kept what he said. At that time, she really almost lost her life for herself.
The anxiety in her heart made her grab the other person's clothes, and the deep folds and white knuckles told how much strength she had used.
Even though she already knew that the person in front of her might really be a woman, feelings really became more and more uncontrollable the more she wanted to control them, but after a few days of seeing each other, she could only miss her, and the answering voice couldn't be softer, "Okay."
He patted the back of her hand to comfort her, thinking about when he should tell her his identity as a woman, since he should have confessed long ago.
After hesitating for a while, he missed this opportunity.
There was a knock on the door, "Princess, the fifth princess sent someone to invite you."
"Understood." Replied casually, raised her hand to straighten Wen Zhuxi's skirt, "Do you want someone to come in and tie your hair for you?"
"No, I can do it myself." He held the hand on his shoulder, apologetic, "I really troubled the princess today."
"It's not a trouble, it just scares us all." After a pause, she added, "I don't want to be named Kefu before we get married."
"Princess, don't worry, the officer's life is very tough..." Before he finished speaking, his lips were pressed against his fingertips.
"Don't talk nonsense." She couldn't bear to do it again.
He nodded obediently, and it was considered a response.
The person who was not as good as me before, and who wanted to respectfully call out to me when she saw her, has now turned into a son-in-law, and the person who used to disdain to befriend her, now wants to make friends again.
Some people are happy to be by Wen Zhuoxi's side, while some people hate her so much.
Old Prime Minister Song originally thought that the position of son-in-law must belong to his family, but he was actually intercepted. He didn't pay attention to what Song Mingxu said at first, but now that he looks at it, he must be someone with some means. He stayed in the court for a long time. He didn't believe it was a complete fate.
He had heard before that his precious son had clashed with others on the street, and even disturbed the princess. Now that he thinks about it, this person must have been the hindrance. Otherwise, how could the princess and his son, childhood sweethearts, have fallen into such a state? .
She must have done something to hide the princess and all of them. After all, she has been thinking about the princess for a long time. She used to disdain to pay attention to it, but now it is too late to pay attention.
But he can no longer do anything to her at this time, so he can only go to the court every day to target her, but Wen Zhuxi doesn't take part in the discussions in the court, there is nothing for him to point out, if he can't vent his anger, he just He had no choice but to stare fiercely.
At first she might still feel some chills, but in the end she didn't take it to heart at all.
After all, it wasn't just this person who stared at her, but also the champion who had been imprisoned for a long time and hadn't been released, and his adoptive father, Mr. Feng, who was implicated and demoted.
Feng Yuan's fraud is already a firm fact. What is unexpected is that he can't ask anything else here. The original governor Feng was also demoted because of his involvement. It stands to reason that he was not found in the fraud case. He and Feng Yuan are only in an adopted relationship, so they can escape perfectly.
But now he didn't know who fueled the flames, so he pulled him down as well.
He was afraid that his family would move out at that time, and he still didn't know why, and where his flaws appeared, so that he would be caught.
But if she was asked to take revenge back, she didn't have such thoughts. They might have thought that they were dead, or maybe they had forgotten that there was such a person as herself, otherwise how could they use her so mercilessly? identity.
It's just that it doesn't matter how they are, the important thing is that there is really someone who has guarded her for six years, and she has found the person she cares about the most, and the hatred at that time has also faded with time.
Now she no longer shirks all the invitations like before. Even if she really doesn't like it, she will still keep a few useful ones; There is more time in the palace, after all their sweethearts are in this deep palace.
Yan Yanhua looked at the person in front of him pouring tea for him, although it seemed not too different from usual, but it was really weird.
Thinking about it carefully, this kind of change happened after the day of coma.
After deliberating, he asked, "You, did you remember something?"
Wen Zhuxi's hand that hit the chess piece paused for a moment, and then she dropped a piece as if nothing had happened, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Princess, you lost."
"..." Looking at the chessboard blankly, it was clearly evenly matched before, but why did the wind suddenly change, I knew that maybe it was because of my own half-heartedness, but the other party was also the same, why did she lose, "Why don't you... Let me."
The voice sounded a little aggrieved, and even she herself didn't realize that after spending so long with the other party, she had become a little childish.
Wen Zhuxi accepted her slightly coquettish complaint with a smile, and admitted her mistake in a very serious manner, "Then it's really the lower official's fault, the princess has a lot of people this time, don't bother with the lower official, the next time the lower official It will definitely not be so invincible."
"So... so I won't care about you." Ben blurted out subconsciously, and replied awkwardly, brushing the hair hanging by his ears, trying to cover his hot ears.
Pressing down the corners of her mouth that were about to curl up again, she raised her head, "It's sunny today, if it wasn't for you not being able to leave the palace for a few days, I would take you out for a walk."
"It's okay." The heat on his face didn't dissipate, and he didn't dare to look at Wen Zhuxi for a while.
Leaning over, she curled up the strands of hair she had just brushed, twisted them around her fingers, and said softly, "There's always a chance."
Maybe it was because he didn't pay attention, or maybe he didn't want to avoid it at all. Looking at this person who was close at hand, he only had his own figure in his eyes, and his strong heartbeat couldn't be suppressed no matter what.
I don't know when, Wen Zhuxi's act of being so close seemed to be able to control herself, and even made her expect the other party to take a step closer.
He didn't take a step closer, but let go, sat down again, and said with some regret, "It's just that I won't be able to come tomorrow."
"Why?" A panic hit my heart.
"Didn't the princess forget that new couples are not allowed to meet each other three days before they get married?" Eyebrows curved, it was obvious that the speaker was in a good mood, and he couldn't see the reluctance just now.
Realizing that she was being teased, she said a little annoyed, "Then you go quickly." After she finished speaking, she regretted a little, after all, she didn't really intend to chase people away.
"Are you going to drive me away after getting along for so long? Then I won't come anymore?" Originally, I just wanted to tease the other party, but I never thought that the other party took it seriously.
"How dare you!" blurted out anxiously.
Seeing that her eyes were starting to turn red, she immediately changed her words, "I mean, the Prince Consort's Mansion has been completed, and we will move there in the future. We won't be going back to the palace."
"You!" Angrily, he threw a pawn in his hand towards Wen Zhuxi.
In the past, she would never have done such an impolite thing, but if the person opposite was Wen Zhuxi, she thought that the other person would not mind her little capriciousness for a while.
It doesn't matter if such a small chess piece is thrown, Wen Zhuxi didn't even hide, letting the chess piece hit her chest and land on her hand.
Put the chess pieces back into the chess box, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the person across from him, although he was ashamed and annoyed, there was bursts of sweetness in his heart.
Until the day of their wedding, Yan Yinghua was thinking that if she really missed this person, she might really regret it for the rest of her life, but luckily she didn't have this chance.
Sitting in the sedan chair, listening to the festive sounds around her, she tightened her sleeves, her heart beating unreasonably fast.
I couldn't fall asleep well last night, and now I don't feel sleepy at all, and the whole person is insanely energetic.
After an unknown amount of time, the bridal sedan chair finally stopped, and someone led her to lie on a person's back, and she knew who this person was without even thinking about it.
After worshiping, he sat obediently in the room and waited for her to come.
After sitting for a long time, my consciousness became a little chaotic, and after a day and a night, I felt drowsy.
'Squeak' The sound of the door opening and closing immediately dispelled her back and forth drowsiness, followed by a strong smell of alcohol.
Let her frown slightly under the hijab.
Although the steps of getting married need to be done step by step, she still couldn't help but say, "Let the concubine drink the hangover soup on the table first."
Subconsciously, she thought there were people around, but she didn't know that they were kicked out the moment Wen Zhuxi entered the house.
"Princess, don't worry." She sat down at the table with a calm expression, and poured two glasses of wine again.
"But the smell of wine on your body..." It's like being soaked in a wine tank.
"It was just accidentally sprinkled on..." Carefully lifted her hijab, no matter how many times she saw her, she couldn't match this glance at this moment.
When he wanted to speak, he stopped abruptly, and the movements of his hands stopped halfway.
"What's wrong?" asked softly.
With a light cough, as if nothing had happened, she took Yan Minhua's hand and put a wine cup into her hand, "It's time to drink the wine."
Looking at her reddish ears, she consciously skipped the matter.
He was about to raise his hand, but was pressed down by the other party. When he looked up, he saw her solemn expression, "I have something to tell you."
In recent days, it is rare to be serious, and she seems to be able to guess what she wants to say, "Say it."
"Actually..." I wanted her to know, and it was a bit difficult to say for a while, especially after looking at myself squarely, with this inexplicable emotion, she didn't want to say anything that might make the other party disgusted .
I didn't hear the following for a long time, sighed and continued for her, "You want to say, are you actually a woman?"
She raised her head abruptly, her face full of surprise without concealing it, "Why do you..."
"Then I already know, do you still want to drink a cup of wine? Don't miss the auspicious time." Not wanting to burden her, she passed the question in one sentence.
The question on my mind got the best answer, and I felt a lot more relaxed, "Naturally."
Drums and music are playing outside the house, and the house is full of beauty.
One of them has no intention of going to court, and the other has found what he has always wanted, and the two rarely return to the palace after they have a consort's mansion.
With them in front, Yu Jiang immediately asked for an order, and Yan Minjiu kept whispering about Yu Jiang's favor in the emperor's ear.
Really unable to bear the nagging from both sides, Yan Yanjiu had already settled the matter before Jiji.
Unexpectedly, not long after they got married, Yu Jiang abducted Yan Minjiu and returned to his family.
As far as Yan Qi left the palace at some unknown time, there was no trace to be found.
The battle in the deep palace has nothing to do with them anymore.
